Abstract: Deodorant granulates for ashtrays comprise an active compound containing a perfume of aromatic type or suitable for use on the human body, a weakly volatile solvent and an undecylenic acid deodorant, said compound being incorporated in granulates formed from a non-inflammable mineral carrier of a selected granularity so as not to leave, in use, any trace of dust, and of a selected porosity so as to receive a substantial amount of the active product and to release it when contacting a lit cigarette. The deodorants are useful for lining the base of all types of ashtrays receiving tobacco ash.

Abstract: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCRAMBLING AND DESCRAMBLING         OF VIDEO SIGNALS WITH EDGE FILL      A video-scrambling system induces a random wobble i.e., time shifting, in the location of active portion of the video frame, without affecting the horizontal sync signal and colorburst in each video line, thus providing both security and concealment.  The security is enhanced by filling in the gap between the nominal beginning of active video and the actual beginning of active video with a synthesized video signal which replicates the adjacent active video using a digitally generated filling pattern. Also, a random noise overlay further conceals the location of the gap.  Additional concealment is provided by wiggling in time the location of the horizontal sync signal using one or two frequencies and also by randomly altering the location of the vertical sync signal.  The NTSC digital encoding in accordance with the invention is simplified by using only two channels, chrominance and luminance, and by a heterodyne circuit for chrominance stability.  NTSC encoding is enhanced by providing detail normally lost, by use of the chroma channel. Additionally, a non-standard video signal may be provided with a portion of the colorburst on the front porch of the horizontal blanking, thus allowing use of a relatively simple decoder.

Abstract: A supporting frame supports a measuring head which has mounted thereon a measuring element which abuts with a reference surface of a wheel mounting member so as to be inclinable about a camber axis and a toe axis. A plurality of holding arms which can be opened and closed are provided on this supporting frame. Each of the holding arms is provided with a roller. The wheel mounting member is held by these rollers in a diametrically aligned condition. Each of these rollers is made of an elastic member and is rotatably supported by fitting onto a roller axis which is parallel with a tangential line of the wheel mounting member at a point of abutment of each of the rollers with the wheel mounting member. The wheel mounting member is thus made free to incline. A suspension is moved up and down by vertically driving the supporting frame. The toe change characteristics and the camber change characteristics as a result of this vertical movement are compared with reference change characteristics to thereby discriminate the assembling accuracy of the suspension.

Title: Methods and apparatus for delivering aerosolized medication
Inventor: MOHSEN NAHED MOHSEN
IPC: A61M15/00
Filed: 1998-07-14
Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A metered dose inhaler for use with a pressurized aerosol canister includes a housing defining a conduit with a mouthpiece, and an actuator with a nozzle discharge orifice arranged to discharge aerosol into the conduit. An air tube is arranged within the conduit with an inlet of the air tube formed in the conduit wall and an outlet of the air tube in opposing relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary air inlets in the closed end of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow along the inner wall of the conduit. Vortex generators on the inner wall of the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow. Automatic actuation of the canister responsive to the patient's inhalation is achieved by a canister trigger connected to a movable piston assembly forming a wall of a variable-volume chamber in fluid communication with a venturi in the air tube. Air drawn through the venturi by the user's breath causes evacuation of air from the chamber, thereby moving the piston assembly and trigger to cause actuation of the canister.
